You used to be able to pick up fuel tankers cheap as chips years ago (nobody wanted then), not seen one for sale for a long time.Karoshi wrote:Mick I've got you half way there, you just need to get the front bit !

Now that Dr. Deuce has hi-jacked this thread 
I am going to bring it back on target.
Finally got a chance to research the original markings
Looks like 9 Star 434 TCG
Which I believe stands for 9th USAAF 434 Troop Carrier Group. A C-47 group originally stationed in the UK and moved into France during the eastward progress. Participated in all 3 Air Assaults in the ETO.
